Structural and Magnetic Characterization of HoFe_xV_1-xO₃

We investigate the synthesis, structure, and magnetic behavior of the orthoferrivanadate compound HoV_1-xFe_xO₃, a chemically doped variant of HoFeO₃ which is known to have an electronic spin reorientation (SR) transition at low temperature. Our results show that the SR temperature is increased by V substitution, likely due to the V interfering with the Fe-Fe interactions.The crystal structure was obtained using X-ray diffraction, and the magnetic properties were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometry.
